The Warriors head to Washington on Tuesday but will not visit the White House. Instead, they will take a side trip to the National Museum of African American History and Culture. President Trump uninvited them to the White House because of hesitancy about the visit that was expressed by coach Steve Kerr and star Stephen Curry.

“We’re doing a great thing anyway,’’ said Warriors All-Star Klay Thompson, after scorching the Knicks with 26 points in a 125-111 Golden State win. “The White House is a great honor, but there are other circumstances that we felt not comfortable going. We’re not going to politicize anything. We’re just going to go hang out with some kids and take them to the African-American Museum and teach them things we learned along the way, life lessons and hopefully give them some great memories.”

A recent Warriors statement read, in part: “In lieu of a visit to the White House, we have decided that we’ll constructively use our trip to the nation’s capital in February to celebrate equality, diversity and inclusion — the values that we embrace as an organization.”
